One day while flipping through channels on the television, I caught the end of a paintball tournament on some absurdly high channel. I stopped flipping and watched it. As I was watching, I turned on my laptop and started searching the internet for paintball information. For some reason, I just really felt drawn to this sport. The next day, I went back to some of the sites I had bookmarked and read them all again. By the time I finished reading them, I was positive that I would be playing paintball. I started reading about equipment, seeing how much it cost and what markers were good, etc.
A few days later, I started looking at equipment with the thought of buying something. After days of researching, I remembered reading an article that said something to the effect of "which is better 'cocker or 'mag ". I thought to myself, I haven't seen anything at all about this "mag". So, I did a search and found AO.
I read AO for two weeks straight. The people on this forum are more intelligent and helpful than any forum I have ever seen. When I realized that Tom Kaye actually used the forum, answered questions, and was a part of this community, I knew that I would buy a mag.
And I did. I bought it and the tank off of AO as a matter of fact. Today I went to a local store and got my tank aired up and finally got to shoot my mag. I know that there are better setups out there, but mine is awesome compared to the rentals I used! I don't know if you all remember what it felt like that first time you shot a good marker, but personally, I felt like a 17 year old on a first date. It just felt "right". My wife said she hasn't seen me this happy in years.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you guys and gals for sharing your love of the sport and for pointing me in the right direction.
